About Karey
Karey Thompson, LISW, helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, family tension, low self-esteem, and life transitions. She offers a calm, practical approach and aims to make sessions feel clear and manageable for busy people. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current bonds.
She also draws on client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help people notice patterns and build new ways of relating. Conversations focus on what matters most to the individual and on small, doable steps between sessions.
Background and approach
Karey trained in social work at The Ohio State University and practices in Ohio. Much of her early career was in community mental health, where she worked in individual and group settings. That experience shaped her ability to work with a wide range of relationship and life challenges.
She has supported first responders and has provided Critical Incident Stress Debriefings. In recent years she has worked with members of the Ohio Army National Guard, helping with stress, motivation, and adjustment concerns. Those roles deepened her skills in crisis support and structured short-term interventions.
Karey brings a holistic view to therapy and is also a 200-hour certified yoga instructor with trauma-sensitive training. She blends mind-body awareness with talk therapy when it fits a person’s goals. Sessions are collaborative and tailored to the needs and pace of each person.

Online support
How attachment and client-centered work translate online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections influence current relationships. Online sessions use conversation to identify attachment patterns and practice new ways of relating to others. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals, offering nonjudgmental support and an emphasis on personal strengths.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining attachment work with mindfulness exercises or using motivational interviewing to support change goals.
Online formats offer flexibility for people juggling work, caregiving, or irregular hours. Video calls let you use visual cues and mirrors in-session interactions. Phone sessions can fit during a lunch break or when video isn’t practical. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflection, and support between longer appointments.
